A peaceful existence——
[00:06] Customer
The usual.
[00:08] Truck Owner
Sure thing.
[00:09] Truck Owner
One taco roll.
[00:11] Truck Owner
Don't you ever get bored of that?
[00:14] Customer
And you always breathe the same air.
[00:17] Customer
Have you ever gotten bored of it?
[00:21] Customer
Here.
[00:21] Customer
Seven-fifty.
[00:30] Caster
Europol has announced that the explosion
[00:32] Caster
was caused by a malfunctioning
remote detonation device.
[00:35] Caster
The counterfeit coins implicated in the
explosion are thought to be the same
[00:37] Caster
as the ones discovered following the
discovery of the Sky Casino terror plot.
[00:40] Jouno
What a tragedy.
[00:42] Jouno
Do you happen to have any thoughts?
[00:44] Kunikida
Only that I agree.
[00:46] Jouno
It was the doing of terrorists like you.
[00:49] Kunikida
The Detective Agency is innocent.
[00:52] Jouno
Oh, fine.
[00:54] Jouno
I've brought a pear.
[00:56] Kunikida
Are you giving it to me?
[00:58] Jouno
Of course not.
[01:00] Jouno
It might not seem like it,
but I admire you.
[01:05] Jouno
That day, when you were about
to blow yourself up mid-air,
[01:08] Jouno
you grabbed Tetchou-san
and used him as a shield
[01:11] Jouno
to protect yourself from
the grenade explosion.
[01:16] Jouno
Without that, not even our gifted
doctors could have saved you.
[01:22] Jouno
Your talent is worthy of praise.
[01:24] Jouno
So...
[01:26] Jouno
I've come up with a way to have
you alone deemed innocent.
[01:29] Jouno
Kunikida-san, would you like
to join the Hunting Dogs?
[01:32] Kunikida
What?
[01:33] Jouno
Join us in hunting down and arresting
the Armed Detective Agency.
[01:37] Jouno
That's the price for your freedom.
[01:40] Jouno
Given that you'd need routine surgery
each month in order to stay alive,
[01:43] Jouno
you'd have no choice but to remain loyal.
[01:45] Kunikida
Leave.
[01:46] Kunikida
Do you think I'd betray the Agency?
[01:48] Jouno
Unless you accept this offer and the surgery,
[01:51] Jouno
you will lose not just your ideals
but all of your special abilities.
[01:57] Kunikida
My abilities?
[01:58] Jouno
Your notebook.
[02:00] Jouno
How would you write without
either of your hands?

So...
[03:35] Lucy
What are you gonna do now?
[03:39] Atsushi
We have to get the page by
the day of the full moon.
[03:41] Atsushi
That's the only way out of this.
[03:44] Atsushi
But with Sigma dead, we have no leads.
[03:48] Atsushi
If only we had the rest of the Detective Agency...
[03:51] Atsushi
This wouldn't have been a big deal.
[03:52] Dazai
Don't be clingy.
[03:54] Dazai
Find a way with the strength you have now.
[04:04] Atsushi
Let's look for more clues.
[04:07] Atsushi
We might have missed something.
[04:10] Atsushi
I'm sure if we work together,
[04:13] Atsushi
we'll find some new...
[04:19] Ango
Atsushi-kun!
[04:22] Jouno
Now, then, I'll be off.
[04:26] Jouno
I'm sure you'll need some
time to consider my offer.
[04:30] Jouno
Oh, right.
[04:33] Jouno
The doctor's execution has
been scheduled for today.
[04:37] Jouno
That goes to show that your "ideals" of
protecting your own kind amount to nothing.
[04:44] Jouno
Isn't it about time?

[05:19] Nikolai
You're awake.
[05:22] Sigma
Nikolai!
[05:25] Sigma
Why are you here?
[05:27] Nikolai
You're amazing!
[05:29] Nikolai
Look at how shocked you are.
[05:31] Nikolai
Amazingly...
[05:34] Nikolai
plain.
[05:37] Sigma
I fell from the Sky Casino...
[05:40] Sigma
And I don't have a single scratch.
[05:42] Nikolai
It's actually a simple magic trick.
[05:46] Nikolai
I used my spatial splicing ability
to catch you on your way down
[05:49] Nikolai
and spit you out in the opposite direction.
[05:51] Nikolai
I kept doing that until
you gradually lost speed.
[05:53] Nikolai
I'm also using my ability to loop
your blood back into your body.
[05:59] Nikolai
I practically got blood
out of a stone for you!
[06:03] Nikolai
Get it?
[06:04] Sigma
I'm certain Fyodor was the one
who ordered the hit on me.
[06:08] Sigma
Why would you save me?
[06:11] Sigma
I thought you died in the hostage incident.
[06:14] Nikolai
Why don't you just ask me?
[06:16] Nikolai
I'm right here, after all.
[06:20] Sigma
How did you survive?
[06:21] Nikolai
Aww, shucks, I don't know.
[06:24] Nikolai
Who asks a magician to reveal his tricks?
[06:27] Nikolai
That's, like, so rude, y'know?
[06:31] Nikolai
Nah, I kid.
[06:32] Nikolai
It's a simple trick.
[06:34] Nikolai
I used my spatial splicing ability to make
a gap and connect it with another torso.
[06:38] Nikolai
All the chainsaw did was split that space.
[06:41] Sigma
I still don't get it.
[06:43] Nikolai
If you ever see a magician die
with their arms and legs tied up,
[06:46] Nikolai
you have to question the trick.
[06:47] Sigma
No.
[06:49] Sigma
You're definitely an elite
Gifted for whom anything goes.
[06:54] Sigma
But that's not what I'm surprised about.
[06:57] Sigma
In the plan, you were supposed to die.
[07:00] Sigma
All in order to erase the
real culprit from the scene
[07:02] Sigma
and force the Agency to go on the run.
[07:07] Sigma
You agreed to that plan when you joined.
[07:10] Nikolai
You're absolutely right.
[07:12] Nikolai
I was, in fact, intent on dying.
[07:15] Nikolai
So that I could prove the
existence of true free will.
[07:19] Nikolai
I didn't expect anyone else
to understand that motive.
[07:24] Nikolai
Alas...
[07:27] (Flashback) Fyodor
Fantastic.
[07:29] (Flashback) Fyodor
You resist God and fight to lose yourself.
[07:37] Nikolai
I was awestruck.
[07:38] Nikolai
He saw the truth.
[07:41] Nikolai
Fyodor is the only person who
understands me. My only friend.
[07:46] Nikolai
That's what I thought.
[07:49] Nikolai
And that's when I realized:
[07:51] Nikolai
If I killed this friend of mine, we would
be free even from the grip of our emotions.
[07:58] Nikolai
I could prove that I'm a truly free bird.
[08:02] Sigma
This man...
[08:04] Nikolai
I'll kill Fyodor-kun.
[08:07] Nikolai
For that, I'd like you to use your ability
to determine what his special ability is.
[08:18] Lucy
He won't come to.
[08:21] Ango
The only cause I can think of is
the empowered bullet that hit him.
[08:28] Ango
In which case, this is a
part of Fyodor's scheme.
[08:32] Ango
What might they do in this situation?
[08:36] Ango
Threaten us using the virus special ability,
as they did during the cannibalism?
[08:38] Ango
In other words, Atsushi would be a hostage.
[08:41] Ango
If we hunt down the mastermind,
he would die.
[08:46] Ango
But if we don't stop the terrorism,
millions will die.
[08:49] Ango
As a member of the
Special Operations Division,
[08:51] Ango
the security of this nation
is my top priority.
[08:54] Ango
But it isn't for these two.
[08:57] Ango
If they were forced to choose,
they would choose Atsushi-kun.
[09:01] Ango
I wouldn't stand a chance in a fight.
[09:10] Ango
Atsushi-kun!
[09:13] Atsushi
Ango-san...
[09:15] Atsushi
I know where the page is.
[09:22] Ango
Sigma told you where the page is?
[09:24] Atsushi
Yes.
[09:25] Atsushi
With his special ability.
[09:27] Atsushi
I think it happened when he grabbed my hand.
[09:30] Ango
Why?
[09:31] Atsushi
I don't know.
[09:33] Atsushi
Because he was betrayed by Fyodor?
[09:36] Atsushi
Or...
[09:39] (Flashback) Atsushi
You never knew your reason for being?
[09:42] (Flashback) Atsushi
Those are words that can never
be a person's last! It's wrong!
[09:47] (Flashback) Sigma
You're a kind man.
[09:58] Ango
I see.
[10:00] Ango
That explains why Atsushi-kun collapsed.
[10:03] Ango
When inundated with an overwhelming amount
of information through a special ability,
[10:07] Ango
the brain sometimes shuts down
consciousness to focus on processing.
[10:11] Ango
I've had it happen myself
because of my own abilities.
[10:16] Kyouka
So, where's the page?
[10:19] Atsushi
The page is currently held by the leader
of the Decay of Angels, Kamui.
[10:28] Ango
Kamui?

Isn't it about time?

[11:06] Kunikida
Shit!
[11:10] Kyouka
If we defeat him, will it solve the case?
[11:15] Atsushi
Let's take him down. Ourselves.
[11:17] Lucy
And where is he?
[11:20] Atsushi
About that...
[11:21] Atsushi
I don't know if it's because
of the amount of information,
[11:23] Atsushi
but I can't quite get a
clear picture in my mind.
[11:25] Atsushi
Ango-san, is there anything I can do?
[11:29] Ango
Let's see...
[11:31] Ango
This won't solve the underlying problem,
but an external stimulus can help.
[11:34] Ango
For example, some might process their memories
[11:38] Ango
in response to being stabbed or punched.
[11:40] Lucy
Pain...
[11:41] Lucy
Like pinching his cheeks?
[11:43] Kyouka
No, breathe on the back of his neck.
[11:45] Ango
These girls are so protective.
[11:49] Ango
How about this, then.
[11:51] Ango
First, I'll use my ability to
read Atsushi-kun's information.
[11:55] Ango
Then, if you hurt me,
my memories will be organized, and...
[11:58] Lucy
That's it!
[11:59] Lucy
I'll have Anne throw you against the wall.
[12:02] Kyouka
I'll stab you in the calf.
[12:04] Ango
Something about this doesn't
sit right with me.
[12:06] Lucy
Slam him against the floor?
[12:08] Ango
Jab his eyes.
[12:09] Lucy
Fling him around!
[12:10] Ango
Kick him.
[12:16] Atsushi
What was that?
[12:17] Atsushi
Was it bloodlust?
[12:19] Atsushi
Someone wants to kill me?
[12:22] Atsushi
I see...
[12:23] Atsushi
Kamui's information...
[12:26] Atsushi
Ango-san, I know where Kamui-san is!
[12:29] Atsushi
He's in the middle of an assassination!
[12:32] Atsushi
His target is the Armed Detective Agency.

He's going to wipe out

Could I at least have my phone back?
[13:38] Katai
No?
[13:40] Katai
Oh, fine.
[13:47] Katai
I want to help the Armed Detective Agency,
[13:49] Katai
but they won't even let me out of my

Correct.

Your number is...
[14:59] Fyodor
790,115?
[15:02] Dazai
This sucks.
[15:03] Dazai
The number guessing game is too easy.
[15:06] Fyodor
Are you all right?
[15:08] Dazai
About what?
[15:09] Fyodor
I'm worried for the Detective Agency.
[15:12] Fyodor
The Detective Agency was
defeated at the Sky Casino.
[15:15] Fyodor
Isn't there something you need to be doing?
[15:19] Dazai
I'm bored over here.
[15:21] Dazai
More so than you.
[15:23] Dazai
Keeping an eye on you is about all I can do.
[15:25] Dazai
And as long as I'm doing that,
he can move freely.
[15:29] Fyodor
Who can?

[15:43] Rampo
Boss successfully extracted!
[15:46] Rampo
Man, sorry we had to be so rough.
[15:49] Rampo
Better than the other members, though.
[15:52] Fukuzawa
They're after the others, too, huh?
[15:55] Rampo
Kamui's hand was devilishly sharp and swift.
[15:58] Rampo
So to save time, I took the liberty of
taking over his assassination plot.
[16:03] Rampo
Long story short, the members who
were being targeted are all safe.
[16:08] Fukuzawa
But, Rampo... I was told that you
were shot when this all began,
[16:12] Fukuzawa
and that you had gone missing.
[16:14] Rampo
There's only one possible
reason I'd ever be in danger.
[16:18] Rampo
And that's because it's more convenient
for us if the enemy thinks I'm in danger.
[16:23] Rampo
During the hostage situation,
[16:25] Rampo
I was surrounded by police as
part of the enemy conspiracy.
[16:35] (Flashback) Rampo
Whoops, my bad.
[16:38] (Flashback) Rampo
By the way, nice cape you've got there.
[16:40] (Flashback) Rampo
Lemme borrow it for a bit.
[16:46] (Flashback) Rampo
Until I feel like giving it back.
[16:49] Rampo
I used the chaos of the initial
investigation to escape their perimeter.
[16:54] Fukuzawa
I see.
[16:57] Fukuzawa
And then what did you do?
[16:59] Rampo
I'm an elite detective.
[17:01] Rampo
There's only one thing an
elite detective ever does.
[17:04] Rampo
Solve crimes.
[17:07] Rampo
I figured out the assassination
plot as part of my investigation,
[17:11] Rampo
but to save all of our members,
I needed more time to prepare.
[17:15] Rampo
So I decided to rewrite
the enemy's plan instead.
[17:20] Rampo
The sniper rifle that was meant
to take out Kunikida
[17:24] Rampo
destroyed the electronic lock instead.
[17:26] Rampo
I used knockout gas to get Kunikida out.
[17:35] Rampo
For Yosano-san's rescue,
I rigged the prison vehicle ahead of time.
[17:40] Rampo
I swapped the engine out
with an electric one.
[17:43] Rampo
Electric motors make almost no noise.
[17:46] Rampo
And as long as it's playing
fake engine noises,
[17:50] Rampo
no one notices the engine's
been swapped out.
[17:53] Rampo
The attacker had been planning to blow up
the vehicle with a remote-controlled mine.
[17:56] Rampo
I took the controller and set it off early.
[18:03] Rampo
Of the four soldiers, two were
ordered to investigate ahead,
[18:07] Rampo
and the other two stood guard behind.
[18:09] Rampo
No one was watching the vehicle.
[18:12] Rampo
And then...
[18:13] Rampo
I used a mirror to hide
myself and get in the car.
[18:17] Rampo
After that,
[18:19] Rampo
I turned off the engine noise and
quietly drove away onto a side-road.
[18:25] Rampo
That's the trick behind Yosano-san's rescue.
[18:28] Rampo
Now, lastly, how we saved Katai...
[18:31] Rampo
This one was simple.
[18:33] Rampo
I used an accomplice.
[18:35] Fukuzawa
An accomplice?
[18:36] Poe
Yup!
[18:37] Poe
It is I!
[18:39] Rampo
We displayed a novel Poe-kun
wrote on the phone screen
[18:47] Rampo
and took him into the novel world,
where he would be safe.
[18:53] Poe
I was also responsible for the sniping
and for preparing the vehicle.
[18:56] Poe
I was a huge asset!
[18:57] Rampo
We don't have time for
your gloating right now.
[18:59] Rampo
Maybe next time.
[19:00] Rampo
So anyway...
[19:02] Rampo
Everyone's waiting for the boss' orders.
[19:05] Fukuzawa
Then I shall issue an order.
[19:08] Fukuzawa
Shut this damn plot down!
[19:12] Rampo
That's what I was hoping to hear.
[19:16] Reporter
Is anyone going to watch this
stupid press conference?
[19:19] Reporter's Boss
It's about the son of the KS Company's

[19:23] Reporter's Boss
It's the talk of the town.
[19:25] Reporter
Who gives a damn?
[19:27] Reporter
Look at the state of the world!
[19:30] Reporter
Reporters around the world are freaking out
[19:32] Reporter
about the Armed Detective
Agency's terrorist attack.

The UN even says it's going to create
[19:37] Reporter
a counter-terrorism unit
in response to the incident.
[19:40] Reporter's Boss
What's your point?
[19:42] Reporter
I noticed something.
[19:44] Reporter
Of all the ceaseless coverage
of the Detective Agency,
[19:47] Reporter
there's one mystery that
they aren't bringing up.
[19:49] Reporter's Boss
And what's that?
[19:50] Reporter
Their motive.
[19:52] Reporter
The biggest mystery.
[19:53] Reporter
The reason for their attacks.
[19:55] Reporter
We have to get these criminals to fess up,
and bring it to the public!

So, Armed Detective Agency...
[20:44] Rampo
This is the message was delivered
[20:46] Rampo
to the Detective Agency six afternoons ago.
[20:48] Rampo
Now, what happened after this?
[20:51] Rampo
As I'm sure you're aware...
[20:54] Rampo
This happened.
[21:00] Rampo
And the Detective Agency,
who was there to help,
[21:03] Rampo
was instead made out to be terrorists.
[21:06] Reporter
Are you making excuses now?
[21:08] Reporter's Boss
Cut it out! He'll kill us!
[21:11] Reporter
Or do you have proof that you're innocent?
[21:13] Rampo
I have proof.

Right here.

This morning, I sent a copy of this
to every law enforcement agency.

no one believes in the Agency's innocence.

The page?
[22:00] Rampo
The page is a special sheet of paper
that has the ability to amend reality.
[22:06] Rampo
Everything written on
that page becomes true.
[22:09] Rampo
The actual attackers
have written on the page
[22:11] Rampo
"The Armed Detective Agency is behind
the Decay of Angels case."
[22:16] Rampo
"Law enforcement organizations"
[22:18] Rampo
"do not question the fact that the
Armed Detective Agency is guilty."
[22:22] Rampo
The documents are probably
in the trash about now.
[22:28] Rampo
Okay, it should be about time now.
[22:35] Military Police F
Everyone, hold still!
[22:42] Rampo
I'll be off now.
[22:45] Rampo
I want to say this to anyone in
the police who are watching:
[22:48] Rampo
Don't think about it based
on your "position" or "job."
[22:51] Rampo
Think with your soul.
[22:57] Reporter
Think? About what?
[23:00] Rampo
Twelve years.
[23:03] Rampo
In the past twelve years,
I've solved tens of thousands of cases.
[23:07] Rampo
There are several officers in
this room whose lives I've saved.
[23:13] Rampo
Right?
[23:16] Rampo
Think!
[23:18] Rampo
If this excellent detective
is a terrorist mastermind,
[23:21] Rampo
would he be so stupid as to put
himself on the wanted list?
[23:27] Rampo
Look with your own eyes,
and it should be obvious:
[23:31] Rampo
It's actually quite easy to
become an excellent detective.
